Sunday Snapshot ~ Rachel ~

Seeing as how I have done all the kiddos except our youngest, this will be all about our baby girl.


The first time I saw her face was way back in June....I had looked through many files at the time without really thinking we would find our child or if we even wanted to continue. We had been devastated by a match with a well known agency and had it given to someone else by mistake after we had been assured the little guy was ours, but I just knew the moment I saw Rachel's eyes sparkle, she was our girl. God works things out you see and everything happens for a reason.



Most people think we are nuts, I mean come on, six kids, what are you thinking?? Especially adopting another child with special needs. I say, we are very blessed and God will not give us more than we can handle.


I think Rachel will fit in perfect. She looks inquisitive and has a knack for looking cute and getting what she wants. (yes, I know just my opinion, but from the pictures we've seen how can you not think this.)

I can not wait to bring her home and love on her, teach her to walk, read bedtime stories and give her a forever family. Our journey to Rachel has not been without it's trials, but nothing worth while ever happens easy. She is our little caboose and our final child. And we love her.



~"The decision to grow our family consists of much more than adding up noise and groceries and laundry, and guaging your tolerance to each. You also have to factor in the multiplication of hugs, the many more funny sayings, and the additional joy of witnessing each child succeed at each new phase of life" ~ Mary Osten ~ A sane woman's guide to rasing a large family.
